With regard to the sentence in the instant case, the parties indicated to the [trial c]ourt that the Commonwealth had no objection to the sentence running concurrently to [Paden]'s Lackawanna County sentence. Thus, with the benefit of the PSI, the [trial c]ourt sentenced [Paden] to a concurrent standard[-]range sentence of 14 to 28 months' incarceration in a state correctional facility, [and] awarded him 54 days' credit for time served.

[Paden] subsequently filed a post-sentence motion, [which the trial court denied. An appeal followed and the Pennsylvania Superior Court affirmed Paden's sentence. See Commonwealth v. Paden, 317 A.3d 618 (Pa. Super. 2024) (Table).]
